Captain kangaroo had a loose structure, built around life in the treasure house where the captain (the name kangaroo came from the bigger pockets in his coat) would perform storytelling, meet guests, and indulge in silly stunts with regular characters, both humans and puppets. [1][2] he also played the original clarabell the clown on the howdy doody television program. Each show featured stories, skits, vaudeville acts, songs, games, and other educational activities.
Hosted by robert keeshan from the treasure house The longest running children's television show in history, captain kangaroo dominated the early morning airwaves for over 30 years, offering a simple and gently educational format for very young children. Each show featured stories, skits, vaudeville.
Bob keeshan, the entertainer who played captain kangaroo on television for more than 30 years, was a very odd man But don’t get me wrong, folks When i say odd, i mean it in only the kindest way possible The other day, i stumbled across a picture of the good captain during the early formative years of the show
During those years, bob was still defining.
